The banquet was given in the Home Economics Hall, which was artistically decorated in the High School colors, purple and gold, and the sweet pea, the Sen- ior class flower. The same color scheme was carried out in the table decorations and in the dainty place cards, menus and favors. Toasts were interspersed throughout the evening, forming pleasant interruptions between the courses of the banquet. Ralph Micken acted as toast- master and gave the address of welcome. Paul Hershey’s talk on “What Have I Gained From My Four Years at High School” contained some wrell worth-while thoughts. Alma Heath in telling “What We Hone to Have Left to the Lower Classmen” added a humorous note as well as bring- ing out some serious meaning. Other toasts were: Miss Miesen, “What I Think of My Seniors”; Mr. Peterson, “Senior Intelli- gence” ; Mr. Griese, “An Opinion of the Seniors and Juniors”; Mr. Frank Seal. “What the School Board Thinks of Our High School”; and a farewell toast by Mr. Bakeman. The fac- ulty members in their talks ex- pressed appreciation of the work done in the school by the Sen- iors and the members of the other classes, especially com- mening the way the students have cooperated with the facul- ty. Mr. Seal and Mr. Bakeman gave interesting and instruct- ive talks, their words displaying the interest both men have tak- en in the work of our school. The four-course dinner was very delicious and was much en- ioyed by all. It was served by the Freshmen girls and prepared by the mothers of the Juniors. A pleasant and wholesome spirit was felt throughout the evening, testifying to the suc- cess of the banquet. Those pres- ent were the Seniors, the Jun- iors, the members of the High School faculty, and the members of the School Board and their wives. The members of the class of 1924 wish to take this opportu- nity to thank the Juniors for the good time afforded them. P. E. H. ’24 ----4 Junior-Senior Prom The Junior-Senior Prom was given Friday, May 16th, in the High School Auditorium. Those present were the High School students, the High School Fac- ulty, the Alumni, the School Board and their wives, and a few others who at one time had at- tended the Cut Bank School. The Auditorium was decora- ted in a very artistic manner in the High School colors, purple and gold. The music was furnished by the Davis Orchestra and was ap- preciated very much. A good time was had by all and we, the Seniors, especially enjoyed the Prom and wish to thank the Juniors for showing us such a good time. q »24 -------4»----- Mrs. Shannon—You had the same topic to report as Lester, didnt’ you, Harold?

M. ’24 -----4 — Eighth Grade Commencement On Wednesday evening, .May 21, the graduating class of the Eighth Grade staged a very en- tertaining commencement pro- gram. The main feature of the pro- gram was a farcical comedy en- titled “A Bunch of Fun.” The plot of the play centered around the “bunch,” which was com- posed of a grouD of Alice Hunt- ley’s friends, Alic° being a pop- ular college girl. Mr. and Mrs. Grardon prepared to entertain the “bunch” when they arrived unexpectedly. They were all in for a good time at which they all choose partners. The play was well presented, each one in the cast taking his or her part es- pecially well. The orchestra played between the acts of the play. The play was followed by the class prophecy given by the en- tire class. Supt. Peterson then gave a verv interesting talk on the value of education. The last number on the program was a song by the entire class, “Wel- come Sweet Soring.” The pro- gram as a whole was well pre- sented and much appreciated. The members of the Eighth Grade graduating class are: Thelma Anderson. Ruth Baird, Louise Clapper, Margaret Dew- ing, Alice Johnson. Katherine Kemmer, Anna Mace, A,nna Meade, Tessie Micken, Edith Potter, Lulia Lenoir, James Barnard. William Britton, John Connolly, Archie Corrigeiux. Ar- mond Freed. Harold Hieland, Eugene Hull, Francis Jones, Forrest Kindle. Earl Peterson, John Stahl, Stanley Strohl, Lewis Warde, and Edward Bach. This is the largest class that has evev graduated from the Eighth Grade in the history of the Cut Bank public schools. It is a class to be proud of. H. J. P. ’24 + Simple Equations (They need no proof for solving) Ralph is to Isabel as glue is to a postage stamp. Chewing gum is to Mr. Griese as lipsticks are to a girl. Food is to Lester as steam is to a locomotive. Wasting time is to Mr. Peter- son as intelligence is to the Freshmen. The Seniors are to the High School as an eraser is a pencil.

LIVE WIRE Page 10 LIVE WIRE Terms...............75c Per Year Published Monthly by the Associated Students of the Cut Bank High School SPECIAL EDITION BY THE SENIOR CLASS THE SENIOR STAFF Editor ..........Lucille Peterson Assistant Editor Paul Hershey Business Manager Frances Clapper News Editor.................Merle Duncan Joke Editor...........Alice Olsen Literary Editor..............Alma Heath Class Advisor................Miss Miesen EDITORIAL How far away 1924 seemed when we, as Freshmen, were first addressed as the Class of ’24 rather than by the number of a grade. But with what in- credible swiftness it has come upon us. Almost too swiftly for us to realize that our school days, unless we enter college, are at an end. How vaguely can we surmise what lies before us. But what- ever it shall be, we must appre- ciate the background that our High School days have furnished for it. And as each year passes there is little doubt that we will more and more realize how greatly these four years of our life have helped us to cope with fate. As students we perhaps sense only the monotony of days and days of school. In our youth and enthusiasm we long for more freedom, and gaiety, and less discipline, but we as Seniors will soon learn that the opportunity given us of attending High School will make these very things more easily attainable. The American High School of today is broader and deeper than the college or university of sev- eral centuries ago; consequently the present day High School graduate has a store of well or- ganized knowledges background of practical information and an insight on life that equals that of the college graduate of long ago. So let Commencement r?ally mean commencement; a begin- ning of something infinitely worth while, the first rung of the ladder that leads to achieve- ment and happiness. — — NEWS NOTES Monday, May 12th. the Home Economics Class, under the su- pervision of Miss Miesen, served a very delicious dinner to the members of the School Board in the Home Economics Hall. Miss Rose Brandt, the rural school supervisor, gave some verv interesting demonstrations on “Methods of Teaching” in the seventh grade room Wednesday, April 23. This demonstration was for the benefit of the grade teachers and the Seniors inter- ested in teaching. The grades as well as the high school observed Arbor Day. With the assistance of the Com- mercial Club, the pupils did some very remarkable work. The school grounds were raked, the weeds burned, and all rub- bish hauled away. A number of shrubs and trees were planted, each class planting a tree in commemoration of the day. At a recent class meeting the Seniors changed their class flow- er to the sweet pea. It had pre- viously been the shooting star. The cooking class, with the aid of Miss Miesen and a few others, served a delicious dinner to the Commercial Club in the gymnasium Wednesday evening, May 14th. A preposition test was given in the high school the first of May. A number of sentences were given to the students, the sentences containing one hun- dred prepositions which were to be marked. The Seniors received the highest average, which was 85.6. Miss Funnell was confined to her room because of sickness last week and was unable to at- tend school. The Seniors are now sporting their new pennant and feel very proud of the blue and silver, be- ing always ready to defend it. Pearl Hessler was chosen val- edictorian of the Senior Class, having an average of 92.7, and Merle Duncan salutatorian with an average of 92.6. The Seniors recently took a number of pictures of the Senior Class as well as of the cast of the play, “Betty’s Last Bet.” Mr. Griese with a number of the high school bovs motored to the Marias River the morning of Arbor Day for trees and shrubs. Examinations were given May 19 and 20. The Juniors have taken the responsibility of decorating for Commencement and we are con- fident the decorations will be very satisfactory. 94 Miss Cherry Blossom The operetta which was given by the Glee Clubs and Orchestra on April 25th was one of the most successful entertainments given this year. The story of 1 he play was centered about Ev- elyn Barnes, an American child left an orphan in Japan and brought up as a Japanese maid- en under the care of Kokemo. When she was eighteen, Worth- ington, her father's former sec- retary, returned to Japan with a party of American friends. Evelyn, or “Cherry Blossom,” who wras supposed to marry a Japanese politician, falls in love with one of the Americans. She receives all her rightful proper- ty and all ends happily for them. The stage, which was decora- ted to represent a Japanese gar- den, was very artistically trim- med and arranged so that it was very realistic. The operetta wras very much appreciated by the public. The cast was as follows: Cherry Blossom........Alice Olsen Kokemo...............Ralph Micken John Henry Smith......Arthur Zion Henry Foster Jones Robert Johnson James Young:..........Edward Seal Jessica Vanderpool....Alma Heath Chorus—Geisha Girls, American Girls, American Bovs. A.
